Ingredients for Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks

  • 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • Marinara sauce, for dipping (optional)

Instructions for Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Roll Out the Dough

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle, approximately 10×12 inches. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter

  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir until well mixed.

Step 4: Spread the Garlic Butter

  • Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, ensuring every inch is covered for maximum flavor.

Step 5: Add the Cheese

  • Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered dough.

Step 6: Bake the Breadsticks

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Step 7: Slice and Serve

  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the breadsticks into strips. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
  • Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Tips & Notes

  • Use Fresh Garlic: For the best flavor, use fresh minced garlic rather than garlic powder alone.
  • Roll Evenly: Make sure to roll the dough evenly so that all the breadsticks bake consistently and are equally soft and fluffy.
  • Cheese Choices: You can add other cheeses like cheddar or provolone for more flavor variety.

Recipe Variations & Substitutions

  • Spicy Cheesy Breadsticks: Add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture for a spicy kick.
